I love Shu Qi and the pose is good. But the cover does not look very 'Vogue' to me. Too much text and has the title text always been like that, with the Chinese words on the left? I wouldn't have guessed it was a Vogue cover at first glance.

Yes it's always been like this with mainland china vogue, relating to the laws about foreign magazines being published there. (ELLE and other mags have to add some chinese part to their title too if they want to sell in mainland china, not just vogue)

The strange thing with this cover is that there is too many different fonts. It's like 10 people all worked on the cover text but not together.
